• Impossible to delete a user account

  I apologize for the display of either of them, because he has already answered threads on this community. I feel mine is a little more specific.

  I recently had my laptop sent to work in a center of Dell, and because they did not actually to be repairing the system, but only a piece of the trim, I didn't think that they needed to my user password. Despite this, they have created a new user named 'Administrator' to access my system anyway. Now that all my system repairs are completed, I would like to delete this user.

  In Control Panel, add or remove users and by selecting the new user, I not give me the option to remove. I found where I can use controls to remove it online or in WMI where I find the user and remove or its permissions. But there are 16 listed under users in WMI users and I want to make sure I remove the right and all its data. I renamed the user "Guest" if I can be sure that by removing the user named "Guest" in the WMI class, I will get the right pair?

  My final concern is that this account cannot be deleted, but my main account can. Is this common? Or Dell somehow does take into account the main user for laptop? If I remove the "Guest" account, my account will lose the option should be deleted and I will still all permissions?

  Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure that my system is always fully accessible to me.

  All versions of Windows (at least XP, if not before) is a built-in account named "Administrator".  In Windows 7, the administrator account is disabled by default.

  Apparently, your store of tech enabled the administrator account and then failed to turn it off.

  Although you can't remove the administrator (by design) account, you can - and should - disable, which will take away from your home screen.

  First of all, make sure that you have at least one - and two - preferably accounts of users who are "Administrators" - check by going to control panel > user accounts:

  

  • Open a command prompt (click the start ORB, type cmd.exe, right click on the link to cmd.exe and select 'Run as administrator' and respond as needed to the UAC prompt).
  • In the black command prompt window, type the following line and press enter
         NET user administrator / active: No.

• Impossible to delete a user created by error

  The original user was 'Owner' and 'child' user has been created.  Worked fine since 2005.  May 2011 inadvertently creating user 'Owner.YOUR - F838.... 8BF.  Now on the screen connecting Kids and owner icons appear.  When the owner is chosen and entered password, the Owner.Your - F83... 8bf user is enabled.  The original owner has Admin rights to remove.  How I can connect to this original owner account so I can get rid of this inadvertent duplicate?

  It looks like your original "owner" profile has been corrupted and the system creates a new profile with a similar name.

  If I were you, I create a new profile "computer administrator" that is named something other than the owner (for example, Mom) and copy all the data of the corrupted profile owner following the directions below.  You can then remove the owner and Owner.xxxxx profiles.

  The problem is, I suppose, that the Owner.xxxx profile has no rights "computer administrator."  In this case, you will need to log on to the built-in account named "Administrator".  The 'Administrator' account is usually hidden and still not intended for daily use, so that it can remain corrupt and available for use of emergency as in your situation.

  In Windows XP Home Edition, you must restart the computer in Mode safe in pressing F8 repeatedly starting immediately after that turning the power on self-test (POST) is completed.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long to start to hit F8 and reboot and try again.  In Safe Mode, you will see an icon for the administrator on the Welcome screen.  The default password is blank (no password) - unless you changed it.

  In Windows XP Pro, you can restart in Mode without failure or simply press CTRL + ALT + DELETE on the screen of welcome with no other connected users.  This will open the "classic" logon screen  Enter the administrator user, and again, the default password is empty.

  Notes:

  Create the MOM Administrator, then log off administrator and connect to MOM.  This will create a framework of the profile.  Then disconnect you mother and identify new in the administrator to the copy of the profile.

• Impossible to delete a user account, even though I am the administrator and the only user of my PC

  Hello, you who knows:

  My OS is Vista Home Premium SP2 and I am the only user and
  administrator.
  ... But the other week, unable to access one of my files, I created
  another administrator account, which appears as a different user on
  my welcome window, but I couldn't do much with.

  Therefore, I decided that it would be a useless account for me to
  have created.
  ... How can I remove this 'new' alternate administrator account?
  For some strange reason, Vista Home Premium doesn't have
  an option 'remove' or 'delete '.

  Can someone knowledgeable computer please tell me what I can do
  to remove this other account?
  I do not see it when my welcome window opens.

  Thank you for your attention to this.

  Dear noomene K,

  What a beauty to hear from you again and to see all of your great advice!

  Your instructions to cancel/hide delinquency counts that I myself
  created were certainly useful

  ... Unfortunately, and despite everything, the problem remains.

  I therefore scoured Internet for some other answer and found a
  prompt command, I decided to try.
  -Says the command prompt: net user administrator /active: Yes, I have
  used for the account I wanted to keep and continue to use.

  -And then I went to the user account window that I wanted to cancel
  and placed the command prompt: net user administrator / active: No..

  Who took care of my problem!

  But you gave me a few instructions very well anyway, and I really appreciate
  your help.

  Thank you.

  Impossible to delete iOS apps 10-pressing/holding icon just widgets for the app.

  Hi b. Bruce Brinson,.

  I understand that you are having some difficulty to remove apps on your iPhone, and instead you see additional options for these applications. I know it's important to have control over what is on your iPhone, so I'm happy to help you.

  From what you described, it seems that you use tactile 3D, instead of simply touch and hold for remove. You can see more info on tactile 3D and how it works here:

  3D Touch - iPhone
  

  Tactile 3D

  Tactile 3D gives you an additional way to interact with the iPhone. On supported devices, you can tap the screen to see the previews, access useful shortcuts and more.

  Tactile 3D is based on:

  • iPhone 7

  • iPhone 7 more

  • iPhone 6 s

  • iPhone 6 sec more

  

  For example, press a notification to the lock screen to respond. In Mail, tap a message in the list of the mailbox for a glance at the contents of the message, and then slide up to see a list of actions. Or press a little more pop the open message. In Photos, tap a picture for the look to it, and then drag upward to share or copy it; Press a little bit more far to jump the image in full screen. In this document, look for other examples of tactile 3D, which are marked with .

  You can use Touch 3D on the home screen, tap the application to see the menus of fast action. For example, you can press the icon of the camera on the home screen, then choose Selfie take. Quick action also works in the Control Center. For example, press the flashlight, then choose a light bright, medium, or low.

  Once you have an understanding of what is currently happening, try the following steps to remove apps from your iPhone:

  Delete music, movies, applications, and other content to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
  

  Remove an application

  1. Press and hold the application until it stirs.
  2. Press on the in the upper left to remove.

  You may be prompted to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "[application name] remove will also remove all the data," press DELETE.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!

• Deletion of user account for disk space

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  Deleting a user will represent to free up more disk space on Windows XP?

  This situation applies to Windows 7 and Windows 8?

  Please reply back soon.

  Thank you.

  A "user account" in itself takes up very little space.  But once the user first logs on, Windows creates a 'profile' so that the user who can occupy a lot of space.  The profile includes all files used on the user's desktop and files under "My Documents" folder of the user (among others) which may be quite large, but includes everything what preferences and user files.

  In Windows XP, you can see the amount of space used by each user profile to:

  Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (in the user profile Section)

  If you have permission, you can select a profile and click on the 'Delete' button to free up disk space.  He recreated the next time the user logs on but delete everything that the user files.

  In Windows 7, the same screen can be obtained from:

  Right click on "Computer"-> properties-> Advanced System Settings-> (Advanced tab)-> the settings in the user profile Section.

  HTH,
